The Roubloff ER08 is a professional round "torch" brush from the premium squirrel hair collection. It is the larger, more diffused counterpart to the ER06, specifically designed for broad shading and achieving the most seamless color transitions possible. Its longer hair exhibition allows for a high-performance "airbrushed" effect when working with dry pigments.

Brush Highlights

• Natural Pine Squirrel Hair: Renowned for its extreme softness and zero-irritation application. It is uniquely capable of picking up a delicate amount of powder, making it nearly impossible to over-apply product.

• Seamless Shading: The ER08 is optimized for "careful shading"—ideal for blending multiple colors together or fading a single color out to a soft, smoky edge on the upper eyelid.

• Birch Handle: Features a lightweight, long-reach birch handle that provides a balanced grip for light, sweeping motions that require minimal pressure.

• Fuzzy Color Effect: Specially designed to achieve a "deep fuzzy color" without the harsh lines or patches that stiffer synthetic or goat hair brushes can sometimes leave behind.

Technical Specifications

The ER08 is a larger-format blending brush, offering a more elongated head for increased flexibility and diffusion:

Key Applications

• Global Blending: Perfect for the final "clean" blend over the entire eyelid to ensure no visible borders remain between different shades.

• Upper Eyelid Shading: The 18mm hair length allows the bristles to fan out slightly, making it excellent for applying transition colors to the orbital area.

• Dry Correction: Because of its large, soft head, it is an ideal tool for "erasing" eyeshadow mistakes by buffing edges with a neutral, flesh-toned powder.

• Subtle Highlighting: The soft density makes it perfect for applying a "wash" of shimmering highlight to the cheekbones for a natural, lit-from-within glow.

Professional Care & Maintenance

1. Powder Only: Natural squirrel hair is highly delicate. Use this brush only with dry materials (eyeshadows, powders). Creams or oils can clump the fine hairs and require harsh cleaning that shortens the brush's life.

2. Delicate Washing: Use a mild brush soap or a pH-balanced shampoo. Avoid getting water inside the ferrule to protect the integrity of the birch handle.

3. Horizontal Drying: Always dry flat. This prevents water from seeping into the handle and preserves the glue holding the natural hairs in place.

4. Reshaping: While the brush is damp, gently smooth the hairs back into their rounded torch shape with your fingers before leaving it to dry.
